Pushing the limits of decentralized payments.

What is Unit-e?

Unit-e (U⋮) is a lightweight e-cash that pushes the limits of what blockchain technology can achieve. Unit-e provides a low latency, high throughput experience based on a Proof-of-Stake protocol with on-chain finalization.

Detangling Decentralized Payments

The Unit-e protocol utilizes innovative features such as finalization, UTXO snapshots, Dandelion Lite, native SegWit or Graphene to optimize network usage, enhance privacy, and mitigate potential security issues of a Proof-of-Stake protocol. Unit-e is the subject of scientific research. The goal is to create a scalable decentralized payment system close to the physical limits. Please see the research for more detail.
